Sundancers are Web-conscious

Sundancers are Web-conscious
January 21, 2008
It seems wherever I go in this crowded ski-haven-turned-Tinseltown, people are talking about the Internet and its implications for the Sundance Film Festival and the overall indie film industry.

Whether it’s chit-chat about the Hollywood writers’ strike over compensation for content sold on the Web, or more formal panel discussions such as Saturday’s “Webolution: Hollywood Adapts to the Web,” the topic is ripe for discussion.

As for the writers’ strike, the buzz on the street is that studio specialty divisions and other distribution companies will be buying Sundance films in earnest to fill their threatened schedules for later this year and 2009. So far that hasn’t happened, but I’d expect distribution news to start trickling in over the next few days.

On the flip side, however, by all accounts Hollywood has scaled back its typical Sundance schwagg-fests and ended up sending smaller teams due to trying economic times.

The strike was one of the main topics kicking off the Webolution panel, which was hosted by The Wall Street Journal’s Kara Swisher, who has long focused on digital issues and teams up with Walt Mossberg for D: All Things Digital. Panelists included Joost CEO Mike Volp; tech strategy advisor Phil Lelyveld; Veoh founder Dmitry Shapiro; Erik Flanagan, who heads up digital media for MTV, Comedy Central and South Park studios; Hulu CEO Jason Kilar; Dan Glickman, president of the Motion Picture Association of America; and Netflix Chief Content Officer Ted Sarandos.

Of course, opinions ran the gamut on predictions about what model for Web distribution will live or die. Michelle Meyers, CNET News.com, blogs
